the president had the one on one with john mccain in his last debates. is there any similarity before we talk about the differences, there any similarity in their style that you've noted? >> well, i think both of them in the past have benefited by the very fact that the people they were debating with often seen themselves to be a little overroute, to seem to be caught up in things and not quite under control. and i think the test tonight is, that both of them will face somebody that's usually pretty controlled in the way they come at things. the last time that president obama was in debates like this, it was his confidence, his -- in a sense quiet reserve in some ways in contrast to an excitability that we saw in mccain. other than the absence of emotion can be very devastating as it with you to dukakis in the debate against bush. part is how the real character comes through in terms of suggesting their ability to be presidential. >> and what do you -- >> shown to be. >> what do you see as the major difference in the two men that could be that revealing

there's a classic example i think going back to 2007 of john mccain talking about osama bin laden. i want to play that for our viewers. >> another painful one. >> on the subject of osama bin laden, he's responsible for the deaths of thousands of innocent americans. he is now orchestrating other attacks on the united states of america. we will do whatever is necessary, we will track him down, we will capture, we will bring him to justice and i will follow him to the gates of hell. >> okay. >> oh, god. >> there was like a smile. >> that was really hard to watch. yes. so that's a sort of nonverbal -- it's a mismatch between what the person is saying and what their nonverbals are saying, or between nonverbals. when you're saying something negative that you will follow someone to the gates of hell, you shouldn't be smiling. it creates i think a visceral negative response in viewers. they don't even know why but it makes them feel bad. it's very aversive to see that kind of thing. >> there have been reports the romney team have been preparing zingers for tomorrow night's debate. you say

"times" said they are offering no evidence on th. mi romney again that's -- it's a picblunder. and they've made too many of them. >> we had secretary of state hillary clinton saying we believe there's an al qaeda link to the attack on the consulate in libya. >> within minutes we were told by a state department official that she did not mean to say
